I love reading about other families' methods and materials. This board is probably my richest source of new hsing ideas!
A couple of years ago several of us decided to take turns in the "homeschooling spotlight." I think the original idea was AnnetteMarie's - but don't hold me to that! Simply put, on your spotlight week you use a thread here to sort of blog about your hsing life. You can read an example here: http://www.mothering.com/discussions...ight=spotlight
The threads were very interactive - the questions and discussions they prompted were fascinating.

Anyone want to sign up to do this again? I'd be glad to keep a list of those interested and send PMs to let you know when your turn approached. (No stress, you can always pass for another week.)

If you'd like you can start your thread with some basics about your family, schooling philosphy, how you came to hsing, etc.

After that just use the thread to write about a week in your world. Your week can be Sunday to Saturday, Monday to Friday, heck it can be Wednesday to Tuesday, whatever works. Others can chime in with comments and questions on the same thread.

PM me if you want a particular upcoming week, otherwise I'll just go in thread order with the invites. Of course, if your invite comes at a bad time, no problems we'll just move on and return to you at a better time.

Oh, and if you are reading this thread for the first time and want to add your name to the list, go ahead!
